Yeah, I'm ready for the "feedback" on less than perfect strikes.
My current gamers are Callaway Paradym with stiff graphite shafts and Winn DryTac grips, so they feel like butter even off the toe. |

Bought a set of eye2 becu 2-S off eBay on a whim a while back but can’t decide whether to regrip and play or just sit on them. They’re a tad harsh compared to my g430s.

My best round ever (88 on a par 70 course) was with a set of clubs very similar to those, along with real wood woods. Still haven’t beaten that score with more modern clubs. Though I’m not good at golf nor do I have nice clubs.

I broke out my Hogan Apex blades yesterday to clean them up and get them boxed to give to a client who is a golfer and says he loves Hogans.
I used to, but I used to play a lot. Oversize irons for me now (Cleveland, I think), but still haven't picked those up in years. Plan to start losing golf balls again this year |

I started with a cobbled together set of old blades. There wasn't more than three clubs in the whole set that matched. They were hard to hit, but I was young and had fun with them. I finally upgraded to a used set of Callaway Big Bertha irons and it was a night and day difference.

I had that same set when I was in middle school.
Sweet spot is about the size of a pea, a small pea. Shafts were stiff as hell. My dad apologized for decades after starting me off on those. |

Ping Eye 2 maybe the best irons ever made. I still own a set. Most people hit them a little higher and shorter than other brands.

Golf is a fine waste of a:
1) Rifle Range; 2) Pistol range; 3) Sporting Clay; 4) Trap range; 5) Skeet range; 6) Three gun course, and; 7) Artillery range (for muzzle loaders) |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Logcutter: Man, the leading edge on these things is like a knife. I'm not a digger, so hopefully it won't be a big issue. Well, hit down on the back of the ball. Don't dig.  My grandad taught me how to play on blades. As I grew, he'd cut down another old set for me to play with. I don't get to play much anymore, but I still swing my old MP-32 irons. Got a old set of eye2 black dots just in case. Ill say this, once you hit a ball off the screws, you'll love those irons. Also, the difference between a "click" and a "clang" is about 1/4". You get great feedback either way.

Nice.
I have a set of Ping BeCu that I thought about regripping and playing for the nostalgia. I' think it's been about 30 years since they've been out of a bag. I imagine they might clean up pretty well though. Not sure what else to do with them. |

If I played a round with those instead of the set I have in my garage there would be zero difference.
The only way I’d golf better is by throwing the ball where I want it to go. I measure success by ending with as many (or more) balls than I start with. When hunting for mine in the woods I usually find a few more
